Can anyone tell if anything other than the level and UCA's up front are aftermarket. Also are the rear shocks aftermarket? I dont know if aftermarket shocks were required with the 2.5 inch block i have in the back. Right now im getting a good bit of bounce and a pretty stiff ride out of the back of the truck (Like a pogo stick if I go over a speed bump at any speed). The truck handles great with no body roll which i love but would like a little more give in the rear. I want to upgrade the rear shocks to some fox's or icons but I don't know if they will bolt right up or if somethig else will be needed.
The rear shocks are aftermarket, but no clue of the brand. They appear they could be upside down, most aftermarket are mounted the opposite direction, that does depend on brand. I'll tell you they aren't Bilsteins.

Yes that's what i was thinking. I wasnt even sure if they were aftermarket because I have never seen what the stock ones look like.
In the case of replacing these with something like a fox 2.0 set, would those work fine with the current 2.5" block I have in the back?
Like a few others have said, that's definitely at least a 3" leveling kit with aftermarket UCA's. The size of the tire will depend on the wheels you run. If you run stock wheels, you can fit 35's with absolutely zero issues with the crash bars. You will however be running close to the UCA's so that would be your only issue.
I have 35x12.5x18's with a +18 offset wheel (stock is +44 so my wheels stick out 1" more than stock) and I don't rub. 2" leveling kit up front, stock 1.25" block was replaced with a 2" block. Now, I did mess with my crash bars some, but all 4 are still there.

Yes, they should work just fine. You might want to consider the 5100 Bilsteins as well. There are many of us using those, including myself.
If you do go Bilstein, I recommend spraying them with clear paint before installing them. That'll help keep them from corroding as much.
